Wow. Steelers fired Canada
Re: Wow. Steelers fired Canada
Thank you Baby Jesus! One down, the rest of the staff to go.
Something tells me this was forced by Rooney or someone other than Tomlin judging by Tomlin's quotes after the game. Hopefully that gets him to walk away after the season.

Howard Griffith had to resort to chop-blocking him during the 1997 AFC Championship Game. An incredulous Kirkland asked Griffith, “Why do you have to use cheap tactics like chop-blocking?” Griffith replied “Why do you have to be a 300-pound linebacker?”

YES!! Please bring in an outside OC. Let him bring in his own WR coach/passing coordinator.

Anyone watch “Bye Bye Barry” on Amazon Prime? Barry Sanders biopic…some decent correlations about talent being wasted with poor coaching and front office decisions. Highly recommend…best pure running back in the history of the NFL. Jim Brown is there too obviously, but so many scenarios where you pick Sanders over Brown for production!

Now we just need them to commit to a new QB if Kenny sucks just as bad the rest of the way.
I still think Kenny’s their man at least through 2024.

Dear Eddie,
Run a fucking split back formation going forward, even on passing downs and we win 2 playoff games!

In season promotion is different than off season.

I'm sure next official offensive coordinator will be the cousin of the Heyward brothers and is also watts uncle and coached NHALS daughters volleyball team

I guess this is an admission putting him down on the sideline wasn’t working.

They won’t bench Kenny. He’s bad. Trubisky is WAY worse and I think Rudolph (although it’s debatable he’s any better) probably fucked someone’s wife/daughter/puppy dog.Professor Half Wit wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2023 2:22 pmSullivan + Faulkner, babySteelerDayTrader wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2023 1:57 pmCmon down retread Mike Sullivan !!!!

I’m just hoping that by some miracle Kenny starts lighting it up (best case scenario that would be a holiday miracle) or that if he continues to suck ass without Canada, Kahn and Weidl pull rank with Rooney and say we didn’t draft this asshole.

Yeah I think Rooney was tired of the brand being tarnished. He doesn’t care about championships but he does care about image. The Steelers were catching a lot of shit in media/articles yesterday. I guess he’d finally saw enough. We all knew Tomlin wasn’t gonna fire him. He was way too loyal because of Matt coaching his kid in college. Maybe Rooney will start down that path of finally being critical of Teflon Tomlin?RemoAZ wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2023 2:30 pmhttps://twitter.com/gerrydulac/status/1 ... 23lrA&s=19

When I woke up and saw this news I actually had to think for a moment if it was April Fools day today.
Jibba Jabber’s offense hasn’t scored more than 7 1st quarter points in 81 consecutive games. An NFL record by far. A historic amount of “easin in”. We are lucky to have him.

Imo if they avoid a truly wide open merit based search that would allow for a completely new approach to offense that is run first and foremost through the OC……and I think you’re kidding yourself if you think that’s gonna happen……I’d have some hope for better performance with Lefty running Rooneyball offense

Kozora mentioned in the podcast yesterday that this is the healthiest the team has been on offense in MONTHS with Muth back, and now with Warren turning it on, it’s basically the whole starting line up in training camp + Broderick Jones our stud tackle with Chucks on the bench…
And what happened?
Worst offensive game I can remember, players fucking up left and right, offensive line playing like shit. Score 10 points, only TD is a 76 yard run. Throw for 77 net yards and the QB looks as bad as any QB in the NFL and maybe college.
Yeah, this was a breaking point. Good for Deuce.
